Events: ISTE/NECC Conference

By Christine Xamis

The SchoolTube/School Video News Broadcast Center set up at the ISTE/NECC conference in San Antonio, Texas. More than 17,600 educators and exhibit personnel attended the 29th Annual National Educational Computing Conference (NECC), with more than 500 stopping by to see a real model high school TV studio in action.

Convene, Connect, Transform, presented by the International Society for Technology in Education in cooperation with the Texas Computer Education Association, was attended by teachers, teacher educators, technology coordinators, library media specialists, administrators, policy makers, industry representatives, and exhibitors from around the globe.

The Broadcast Center was a joint effort of School Video News, SchoolTube, PrompterPeople, Soundzabound, Adobe, and BP Lighting.  Powered by NewTek’s TriCaster, the Broadcast Center provides a look at what any middle or high school can create.  From the beginning studio using Adobe’s Visual Communicator to the complete studio setup with prompters, lighting, virtual sets and more, educators can explore the various costs and capabilities.
